  Half bottle. Aromas are a bit muted but the palate is fresh with a nice medley of red cherry and herbs.

  (Brunner@Derek's) Bluefruits, with funky cheese edge to it. INcredible perfume, lifted with cloves and cinnamon, pure black florals. Blueberries and violets on the palate, rich dark floral perfume. Needs quite a bit more time, and somewhat hot. Could be better.

  Medium-dark red color with medium transparency. Aromas of blueberry, cherry, vanilla, and raisin. Liqueur-like cherry and raisin elements on the palate lead into a dusty blackberry and vanilla finish that is medium-long with some coarse tannins evident. Marked negatively by the vintage and possibly the worst Cuvee J to my tastes (and I've had every vintage up to 2005). Drinkable but a disappointment as a Cuvee J. Drink or hold.

  Awfully surprisingly fresh for an 03, but yes from magnum. Good lord that makes such a difference.

  From magnum. Manages to have enough sex appeal in an odd vintage to be drinkable paired with Gouges and Mugnier. It's ripe but not hot. It's clunky but not over-wrought. It's full-throttle but not cloying. Will this be your favorite EW Pinot ever? No. However, it is far from unappealing and has its place in the world especially when you have a bunch of folks around that dig domestic Pinot. This would be demure to a couple of Pinots I have had recently from, um, a different state.
